dc.description.abstract | Considering the fact that quantities play such an important role in our everyday lives, it is of the utmost importance that children should have the opportunity to experience enjoyment and success in their dealings with numbers. It has been found that in practice children with mathematical problems, rely almost exclusively on their memory skill, which is often inadequate: Because this method of approach seems unsuccessful, it would be endeavoured in this study, to work out a programme to assist the child to make use of cognitive principles and strategies, and thereby gain a greater appreciation for and efficiency in the skilful handling and calculation of numbers. Before such a programme can be drawn up, the nature of the mathematical problems must be considered, because these problems cannot be attributed to the obvious faults in calculations that can be exposed by analysing the mistakes only. Problems can also be attributed to indirectly related problems which include develop mental deficits, perceptual deficits and behaviour problems. Directly related problems where problem solving skills and the child's efficiency in including computational strategies are involved, must also be considered. There must also be an awareness of the disharmonious teaching dynamics as it figures in the mathematics class. Inadequate teaching where emphasis is placed rigidly on the contents, but the involvement, interaction and creative problem-solving of the pupil is ignored, is often a contributing factor to mathematical deficits. In order to produce a cognitive theory-based aid programme for addition, it was necessary to study the cognitive learning and developmental theories, because cognitive theories usually give a clear reflection of internal cognitive experiences, so that the learning process of the child can be better predicted and understood. A study was made of the theories of Piaget, Tolman, Bandura, Wertheimer, Vygotsky, Feuerstein, Bruner, Ausubel, Gagne, Van Parreren and Sternberg with the aim to find essentials concerning the cognitive processes, principles and teaching procedures that have didactical implications for this study, and to group these accordingly. Subsequently the relevant essentials of the cognitive theories were placed alongside the contents, arrangement and presentation | |
